NP Mania. ^^;

Since Gift basically scales just like Mend Pet, combined with the Tenacity talent that buffs heals on your pet by 40%, I can see Draenei BM hunters being pretty good ghetto offtanks for 5 mans and possibly more depending on the new content and how resourceful players are.

Thanks, Infares! That does indeed look like it will be useful for my little Draenei hunter (who also gets a lot of use out of Gift of the Naaru).

A good macro for Draenei hunters is the following:

#showtooltip Gift of the Naaru
#show Gift of the Naaru
/cast [help, nomodifier, button:1] Gift of the Naaru; [target=pet, nomodifier, button:1] Gift of the Naaru; [target=player, nomodifier, button:2] Gift of the Naaru

This basically casts your racial heal on a friendly target if left clicked, or casts it on your pet if no friendly target is selected when left clicked, or casts it on yourself when right clicked.

I’ve never regretted being a spacegoat hunter, this racial spell gets more use from me than any other racial I’ve tried on other races.

I downloaded his Nerdcore Rising album before finishing the first sample. Truly awesome, lol. Thank you.

This is Tinuviel from Steady Shot – thanks for the link again Mania :>) In response to the person who said a lot of macros will get borked in new patches; I am in the beta and using most of the macros in the 13 macros post: http://wowwhimsy.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/13-hunter-macros, I haven’t had any problems with them so far. The only ones I am not using are the shot rotation macros, which aren’t needed with the changes to auto shot. I’ll test them out some more and post any difficulties on my site, but so far so good. Usually, I find patches tend to upset addons more than they do macros, unless your macros are super complicated, which mine aren’t.

I just tried that mend pet macro. problem is if you try spamming it, it never resets, so it only works if you are willing to look down and see if the button has switched back again.

I almost never look at my buttons except to hit some rare spell i don’t have keybound, so this macro doesn’t work as well for me.
